Today was an awesome day. The weather was absolutely beautiful and things went really well. Jason & I took the kids to Jump Zone AND McDonalds. The kids got a Jump Zone pass and McDonalds gift cards for Christmas, and with everything that has happened around here, we hadn't been able to use them :-( They have begged and begged, and I have felt really sorry for them. This morning, we got them up and had them hustle through their morning work. We told them we were running errands, and instead we drove to Jump Zone. They were very excited :-) After that, we took them to McDonalds where they each got to pay with their very own "credit card" (gift card, actually). They also got to play on the playground, which we almost never let them do.
This afternoon, we came home, did school and took care of some general straightening. Mostly they got to play outside and have "tool school" with Daddy in the garage. Also, the Lord used a wonderful family from our church to bless us this afternoon. They have a lawn mowing business and came and took care of our yard for us--free of charge. We had quite a few limbs lying around from the ice storm in December that still hadn't been dealt with. These were all removed. They even moved the trampoline and mowed underneath it (which Jason had never been able to do since he can't move it by himself). The yard looks super awesome and it has taken a great load off of us worrying about how it was going to get done.
Jason's pain is still pretty bad. He is taking his pain medicine quite regularly, and it doesn't seem to help much. He is still able to enjoy some normal activities, but anything that requires bending or lifting isn't very doable right now. Please continue praying. If he isn't doing better by next Wednesday, we will go back to the surgeon.
